Which commercials...

ejc423 · Coach

Thank goodness I haven't seen an Old Navy commercial in the recent past. Those always get me.

Do y'all have the directTV commercial with the jingle "somebody out there loves you - Direct TV"? Honestly, does that make ANY sense?

Hermione · Kate Spade

actually i used to really like the one where they did the hustle

I haven't been watching a lot of tv lately, but I hate the Overstock.com lady. Also, the Britney Spears perfume commercial about the princess on the Goddess World Tour. So gross.

Oh, and this is really old, but maybe the Chicago area girls will remember. There was a commercial for Hollywood Casinos where they danced around to a version of "Simply the Best" by Tina Turner, with the lyrics changed to be about the casino. Seriously, it was like 4 or 5 years ago and it still sickens me to think about it.

Oh yeah, ITA about the Britney commercial! The dialogue is terrible: "She was beautiful, and he couldn't help himself." Gag me with a spoon!

HAHA - I just saw the Britney commercial last night and thought to myself "man she is full of herself for saying she's beautiful and he couldn't help himself" I mean, give me a break - bleh

omg, I hate her too! She's so lame!

i want to poke my eyes out when the jessica simpson commercial comes on. any of them, really, but that new one is especially offensive and annoying. it seems like now she has enough fame and money that she wouldn't really need to do such a lame ad, but i guess she probably has a contract to finish out. still. jess, go back to the recording career now and leave the rest of us alone.

I HATE the Overstock.com lady! Especially when she says "It's all about the O" as if she's talking about something other than Overstock.com. Gag!

The Jessica Simpson Pizza Hut commercial makes me want to hurl a brick at my tv.

clearly, she hasn't seen herself lately... and i

her. she just needs a makeover to get back to the brit she once was.

The Overstock.com actress doesn't bother me, but the advertising line does, the BIG O. I mean, just stop.

Call me a prude if you want, but I don't like the Las Vegas commercials, the what happens here stays here stuff. It implies some pretty shameful stuff, and I love Vegas, it actually has so much more than that with spectacular shows, restaurants, shopping, site seeing, gorgeoous hotel pools, spas, luxury, gambling of course... but it's somewhere you can pretend to be filthy rich... there is just no need to promote the seedier side, I think the ads appeal to people out trying to have a one night stand, have a threesome, or cheat on their spouse.

I also hate the Phillip Morris commercials promoting their website to help you stop smoking. As if one couldn't figure out a better place!

I do like the Sanderson Farm chicken commercials, especially the one where the mom says, we buy the chicken with phosphates because when the aliens come, they will want us to be phosphate filled. or something like that.
